Article Title: Oncogenic IDH mutations increase heterochromatin-related replication stress without impacting homologous recombination
Abstract: Oncogenic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) produce 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), which inhibits dioxygenases that modulate chromatin dynamics. The effects of 2HG have been reported to sensitize IDH tumors to poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. However, unlike PARP-inhibitor-sensitive BRCA1/2 tumors, which exhibit impaired homologous recombination, IDH-mutant tumors have a silent mutational profile and lack signatures associated with impaired homologous recombination. Instead, 2HG-producing IDH mutations lead to a heterochromatin-dependent slowing of DNA replication accompanied by increased replication stress and DNA double-strand breaks. This replicative stress manifests as replication fork slowing, but the breaks are repaired without a significant increase in mutation burden. Faithful resolution of replicative stress in IDH-mutant cells is dependent on poly-(ADP-ribosylation). Treatment with PARP inhibitors increases DNA replication but results in incomplete DNA repair. These findings demonstrate a role for PARP in the replication of heterochromatin and further validate PARP as a therapeutic target in IDH-mutant tumors. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
